Trump urges Russia to hack Clinton’s emails - Polidicks

[QUOTE]PHILADELPHIA — Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Wednesday said he hoped that Russia would hack into Hillary Clinton’s email server to find “missing” messages and release them to the public. “Russia, if you’re listening I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press,” Trump said during a press conference at his Doral resort in South Florida on Wednesday.[/QUOTE] He turned and said this right to the camera, a political party's nominee saying this basically treason.

I thought the 30000 emails were made publically available on wikileaks?

Next: Trump urging ISIS to attack America so he could win the election.

You know it really seems that either side will burn any bridge (Especially ones that comprimise national security) to get brownie points towards presidency. It used to be a proper challenge towards which nominee would bring better governance, now its just one big pissing match.

Well shit, that's just about the worst way you could respond to such a big opportunity.

Actually yeah, minus the classified emails the 30000 are already publicly available as part of the Freedom of Information act. [url=https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/]Wikileaks just made them easy to search through[/url]

If you're going to quote the FBI investigation you'll remember the entire crux of the case was that intent was lacking, something Trump is actually showing on the matter. Have defenses of Trump now come down 100% to just deflecting away without actually addressing the topic?

I'm pretty sure this is sarcasm in response to the claim that Russia was behind the email leak.

[QUOTE=GhillieBacca;50784022]Reminds me of a certain female nominee that, y'know, committed an actual crime.[/QUOTE] Yes, being in the wrong place at the wrong time and getting hacked is a crime. What crime did she commit? Using an insecure e-mail server? John Kerry, our current Secretary of State, is the first of his kind of actually use a secure e-mail server. I guarantee you that if anyone else in her position got hacked and had the same kind of e-mails, no one would bat an eye.

[QUOTE=Smoot;50783998]I don't think saying you hope something happens is treason, considering he didn't actually commit a crime (unlike Hillary Clinton).[/QUOTE] To be fair i'm not entirely sure, I saw other news outlet reporter saying it and I looked up the definition [QUOTE]Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.[/QUOTE] [URL]https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2381[/URL] With in that definition I think you could argue treason.

You're still trying to deflect even in this reply.

Just because Clinton couldn't be prosecuted for the email server doesn't mean it's acceptable to say you hope foreign governments obtained her emails. Especially because they were known to include highly confidential information. That's also without getting into the fact he's hoping people hack into the information of his political rivals and release it to hurt them, even if it wasn't at all government related, hacking is still illegal, and he's openly expressing that he hopes a crime were committed against his political rival.

Have we even caught the people that hacked Hillary's e-mails? We aren't we focusing our attention on them? [editline]27th July 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Maegord;50784108]Jesus do you really have to defend every retarded thing Trump says?[/QUOTE] He's filling in for orgornot.

[QUOTE=Thlis;50784093]I'm pretty sure this is sarcasm in response to the claim that Russia was behind the email leak.[/QUOTE] Not really. [editline]27th July 2016[/editline] And even if it was it would be a dumb thing to say.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;50784138]Not really. [editline]27th July 2016[/editline] And even if it was it would be a dumb thing to say.[/QUOTE] Quite frankly I don't think there is anything he could say to make you or the media happy.

[QUOTE=Thlis;50784145]Quite frankly I don't think there is anything he could say to make you or the media happy.[/QUOTE] On a gradient scale I was happier with Trump before he invited Russia to continue it's cybersecurity attacks in the same speech where he praised Putins leadership, so simply not saying that would have been fine.

[QUOTE=Thlis;50784145]Quite frankly I don't think there is anything he could say to make you or the media happy.[/QUOTE] He could retract all his statements on repealing the same sex marriage bill, promise no ground war with ISIS, and recognize the importance of foreign relations for a start.

If you watch the video it's blatantly not sarcasm, but keep on shitpostin. [editline]27th July 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=RIPBILLYMAYS;50784080]Im not defending Trump.

[QUOTE=plunger435;50784158]He could retract all his statements on repealing the same sex bill, promise no ground war with ISIS, and recognize the importance of foreign relations for a start.[/QUOTE] Why would he do that? He's banking on the uneducated, old redneck votes.

How are we meant to take him saying this on top of Putin being a better leader than Obama positively? Do you agree wth him on that?
